Chapter 3185: The Promise of a Billion Box Office
"How to cooperate?" Neuhas and Salzberg looked at each other and asked. \m\网--
"You provide the market, and I provide the money and technology to establish a new media group. You can continue to control your respective newspapers, but in terms of shares, I must own at least 50% of the shares!" Lin Feng said.
50%, isn’t it Lin Feng who has the final say! How can this work! The two instinctively wanted to refute.
"You two, you need to know that I can definitely cooperate with other newspapers. Also, without my technology, traditional media may disappear in less than ten years. I am not alarmist! The rise of smart phones, mobile phones It has gradually become the general trend in the future. Sales will exceed 1 billion units a year, and computers will also become the main leisure and entertainment tools for humans. People will gradually develop the habit of reading news through electronic products. , What can we use to compete?" Lin Feng asked.
Salzberg and Neuhas were speechless. But even if they were asked to hand over 50% of their equity, they couldn't do it.
"Haha, you two, I said, I just need my own mouthpiece. Apart from that, I will not participate in any substantive management. The newspaper will still be managed by you. What I want is not to be like now. "I, Lin Feng, can't just let people scold me without saying anything back!" Lin Feng snorted coldly.
Salzberg and Neuhas looked at each other and thought to themselves, this guy is really going to retaliate. But his proposal is really worth considering. It's just that it's really hard for me to go through this test in my heart. Before this, they had complete control over the newspaper. After he leaves, the newspaper office will become someone else's. This is too unacceptable.
"Both of you. I think you can really consider Mr. Lin's plan. I think this is a huge opportunity for change in the traditional media industry and even the online media industry. Once this kind of screen is developed, it can be folded. And it can provide as much comfort as reading a newspaper. I believe that most readers will choose to buy this kind of screen for daily reading. Of course, more technology is needed, such as making the screen thinner and thicker. It’s lighter, softer, has battery life, etc., but it’s a project worth investing in. Mr. Lin, I’m willing to participate in this great project.” New York Mayor Bloomberg looked at Lin. wind.
Lin Feng was shocked. Originally, Lin Feng came here just to persuade Salzberg and Neuhas. He did not expect to meet New York Mayor Bloomberg, nor did he expect that he would also be interested in it.
"Mayor Bloomberg. You have to know that my relationship with the American media is not good, and I am Chinese." Lin Feng said.
"Mr. Lin, you are Chinese and I am American, but for us Jews, there are only suitable and inappropriate businesses in this world, and there is no distinction between race and nationality. As long as your behavior does not endanger American citizens,
I don't think there's anything we can't work with. And I created a Bloomberg News Company. Speaking of which, I am also in the news. "Bloomberg said with a smile.
Jews! Another Jew! Lin Feng suddenly realized that the smartest people in the world may be Chinese, but the most profitable and shrewd people must be Jews. No wonder Hitler wanted to exterminate the Jewish race. It's very simple. In the European environment at that time, most of the wealthy people who were in charge of the social economy were Jews. If the Jews are not eradicated, in the end, even if Hitler conquers the country, I am afraid that the final result will still be that Hitler is the nominal supreme leader of the empire, but the Jews still have the final say in this country.
If you put it this way, to a certain extent, the world should thank Shidler. Without his mass murder of the Jews, perhaps the world's economy would have been controlled by the Jews. All countries will live in the shadow of the Jews.
Of course, this thank you is a bit anti-humanitarian. Lin Feng was just thinking in his heart, but he would not say this out loud. Otherwise, Lin Feng would definitely get into big trouble. Maybe the United Nations will directly list itself as the most dangerous terrorist in the world.
After all, Hitler had caused countless disasters and terror on the earth, and anyone who supported him was a devil.
"Haha, Mr. Bloomberg, your investment is welcome. Now, it depends on what you two think?" Lin Feng smiled and looked at Newhas and his wife.
Neuhas and Salzberg frowned. Bloomberg's decision put a lot of pressure on them. But the two of them would not give in because of this. They were very confused.
"I think it's like this, we should return to the box office of "Infinite Horror"." Lin Feng suddenly changed the subject, "The original intention of our coming today is to talk about the box office of "Infinite Horror". I think it's like this, let's have a fight Bet, if the box office of "Infinite Horror" reaches a certain number, you will agree to join my plan, otherwise, I will give up on my own initiative. Of course, if you still want to cooperate, then I don't need more than 50% of the equity!"
"How much?" Salzberg's eyes jumped. To be honest, they really want to cooperate. Especially as the owner of the New York Times, Salzberg is very clear about the current poor situation of traditional media. Compared with the relatively good financial statements of USA Today, the New York Times has fallen into a loss-making state. It is currently insolvent. It's just that this news was deeply hidden by Salzberg and not announced to the public. But this news will break out sooner or later.
Therefore, financing and cooperating with Lin Feng is the best choice. But he is unwilling. A newspaper with a history of 150 years was acquired by Lin Feng just like this, which is too unwilling.
Therefore, he needs to give himself a reason to convince himself.
Lin Feng smiled.
"One billion US dollars, what do you think!" Lin Feng smiled faintly.
What! One billion US dollars! You are not kidding! The three of them stood up in shock.
"Single or series?" Newhaas asked.
"Just these first two episodes, global box office!" Lin Feng said.
The three were shocked again!
You know, for now. There are only two movies with a global box office of more than $1 billion, one is "Titanic", $1.8 billion. The other is "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King". $1.1 billion. Of course, there are many series of movies with a total box office of more than $1 billion, such as "Harry Potter", "Spider-Man", "Mission Impossible", etc. Judging from the current situation of "Infinite Terror". It is not difficult for the total box office revenue of the series to exceed $1 billion. But Lin Feng said that the first two episodes, a single one, is a bit incredible.
"Mr. Lin, you are not kidding!" Bloomberg exclaimed.
"No kidding, I, Lin Feng, never joke when I talk!" Lin Feng said seriously.
The three frowned. Is Lin Feng really so confident about this "Infinite Terror"?
The three did not go to the premiere of "Infinite Terror". After all, the three are not avid movie lovers. Although they occasionally watch movies, they only watch when they are bored and accompany their families. They don't watch it normally. They don't know much about this most controversial movie. It's just that Lin Feng is too confident.
"How about it, do you agree or not?" Lin Feng looked at Salzberg and Neuhaus.
The two looked at each other.
"I agree!" Both agreed. For Salzberg, he just needed a reason to convince himself, and this reason was sufficient. And for Neuhaus. If the box office of "Infinite Terror" can really create a terrifying result of 1 billion US dollars, then he will be very optimistic about the future prospects of the cooperation proposed by Lin Feng.
"Okay, then I wish us a happy cooperation! Of course, before that. I think we should also perform a play!" Lin Feng smiled slightly.
The three looked at each other and laughed.
Then, the four walked out of the Starbucks coffee shop. Many reporters immediately surrounded them to inquire about the results of the negotiations. However, the four left in silence. Later, "USA Today" and "The New York Times" announced a shocking declaration on the front page-Lin Feng boasted that "Infinite Terror" had a box office of 1 billion!
Buzz! The entire American film industry was boiling. Countless film critics jumped out and frantically criticized Lin Feng's arrogance, accusing Lin Feng of being too arrogant. It is impossible for Infinite Horror to achieve a box office of 1 billion. If it can reach 300 million US dollars, it is enough to burn incense and pray to Buddha. 1 billion is simply a foolish dream!
Derrick Elly even wrote directly in his column-I have never seen such an arrogant person. Making movies is not like speculating in stocks, where you can make a fortune by taking advantage of a wave of rising trends. Whether a movie box office is good or not depends on word of mouth, the quality of the movie itself, and whether it can touch the hearts of the audience. Although Infinite Horror has its appeal, it is absolutely impossible to reach a box office of 1 billion. Especially since this is a TV series, not a movie. If it can reach 1 billion US dollars, I, Derrick Elly, will never write movie reviews again. I will be a doorman for Lin Feng!
Derrick Elly's sharp comments have won the support of the entire American film industry. Many film companies have even rated Derrick Elly as a fighter in the American film industry. Countless media have written about Derrick Elly and praised him like a figure like Joan of Arc.
In response, Lin Feng just smiled faintly and left a message on Weibo - Hey, Derrick, next year at my film festival, you will be the one to open the car door for the stars!
Puff! Derrick Ellie was furious when he heard what Lin Feng said. What, are you really going to use yourself as a doorman? Derrick Ellie is not a vegetarian. In terms of wealth and power, he is far inferior to Lin Feng, but in terms of sarcasm, he is no less than Lin Feng.
Mr. Lin, if there really is such a day, I am willing to open the car door for the stars. But I think that your film industry may not be able to achieve this by the end of the world. Unless you become the president of China. Order all Chinese people to go to the cinema to watch your movies, that would be possible! - Derrick Ellie said sarcastically. The last point he said was that he had been criticizing China's "policy box office".
To this, Lin Feng did not respond again. There was no need to respond. Now, it is time for the box office to speak.
The box office of the second day was released. The box office of "Infinite Horror" in the United States still maintained a very high attendance rate, reaching 31 million US dollars. The total of two days is 66 million US dollars. This number is already amazing. But it is still far from the 1 billion box office that Lin Feng boasted.
On the third day, "Infinite Horror" once again achieved good results, with a box office of 30.5 million US dollars in the United States, which was almost 500,000 US dollars less than the second day. The box office in the United States also reached 96.5 million US dollars, which is close to breaking 100 million US dollars. If nothing unexpected happens, the box office in the United States should be around 300 million US dollars. However, even if it reaches 300 million US dollars, it is still far from Lin Feng's 1 billion US dollars. Although "Infinite Horror" has not been released in other countries. But no one would believe that the cumulative box office of "Infinite Horror" in other countries will exceed 1 billion US dollars.
You know, in the United States, "Infinite Horror" has big-name directors such as Spielberg and Cameron to support it, as well as various stars to support it, which is equivalent to half of Lin Feng's home court, so it has created such a good result. Other places are not Lin Feng's home court. Its box office is much worse. As for China, Lin Feng's real home turf. However, because Lin Feng chose to broadcast it on TV, there is no box office at all. In this way, it would be strange if Lin Feng's box office could exceed 1 billion US dollars. And there is another point. Since "Infinite Terror" has been filming and is a TV series, its main creative staff cannot move forward at the global premiere, which will have a very adverse impact on the promotion of the movie. This is also the reason why Derrick Ellie dared to boast that he would be a doorman.
However, Derrick Ellie made a wrong judgment on one point, that is, Lin Feng's connections.
Lin Feng's connections around the world are far beyond what Derrick Ellie can imagine.
First of all, "Infinite Terror" landed in Europe, the main battlefield. And the first stop in Europe is the UK.
At the premiere in the UK, "Infinite Terror" did not have any main creative staff present, but all the supporting roles appeared. The so-called supporting roles also include Paul Anderson, the director of "Resident Evil", and Milla Jovovich, the "Biochemical Girl". These two, like the main creators of "Infinite Horror", have come to the UK and will always follow Lin Feng and appear at premieres around the world.
In the UK, Lin Feng also has his biggest supporter - Prince William.
"Lin, this is troublesome. William is imprisoned by his grandmother and can't get out! I thought he would be released now, but he is still imprisoned. And when she heard that you came to the UK, her grandmother kept a closer watch on him." British Princess Ella-Gabriella said distressedly. rq
